    Maybe.

    First talk with your track coach and learn whatever he/she knows about bringing your HS times to the attention some college/univ. track scouts so you may be considered for recruiting by a school. See the last link I give below, before talking with Coach.

    Also, hold conversations with a high school guidance counselor.

    The National College Athletic Assoc. (NCAA) allows only NCAA Div. I (1) and Div. II (2) schools to give athletic scholarships. Sign up to be considered eligible on this NCAA web page:

    * http://web1.ncaa.org/ECWR2/NCAA_EMS/NCAA.jsp

    There is also the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) - http://www.naia.org/ .

    See:

    and

    I think you will find some of the information on this FinAid.org web page useful, too. Read it through:

    This web page has good info too:

    For an entire scholarship for move nation, you must be approximately all-state on the maximum degree. In order to try this, attempt to get some time right down to approximately quarter-hour. The perfect approach could be to damage 15, you then could have a shot at a scholarship. Not many are provided... The nice solution to get a scholarship is to be the nice in Track. Teams care extra approximately their monitor systems. Try to get beneath four:10 within the mile.
